The Ju52 3M Hydro is a slightly more complicated plane to fly (which I love), and it's very similar to the Ju52 apart from being a sea plane and therefore only launching and landing on water.
Notes: (some also apply to the normal Ju52)
I really like how one can sit 12 people in the plane, as well as delegate co-pilot positions. It's a bit weird in singleplayer though, you can set a blank entry to become the co-pilot and sit in the back, then it's hard to get back to being the pilot again.
Autopilot is decent but sometimes fails to fly upward when the land is getting closer, which led me to crash into a tree.
It would be nice to have a message saying 'autopilot activated' when it is, currently only messages if it was automatically disabled.
It has an Auto Direction Find feature, but I'm not convinced it works. I flew in the opposite direction of the destination, turned on auto direction find and autopilot and it just kept going straight.
3D model looks really nice, the top part is exactly the same as the Ju52 but it has nicely aligned floaters below it. The position the place sits in water looks realistic.
There is no crafting recipe available for the parts Crafting recipe have been added!
In summary, it's a good plane but needs work on the included settings, especially autopilot.
Thank you!
I'm improving the autopilot today, but at the current moment it doesn't work together with the ADF yet.
And I'll think on a good recipe for the plane too!

I like the new recipe - how it's an extension from a normal Ju52, that makes sense. Looking forward to improved autopilot/ADF!
